NEW: Republicans are taunting Democrats to vote against the CR, which avoids a government shutdown, after Dems just 3 months ago went on a media parade about how dangerous a government shutdown was.

On Saturday, Trump called on the House & Senate to vote 'Yes' on the CR.

It is unbelievable that the demonrats are in the minority and can still shut down the government. No doubt that this party has to be outlawed.
Hey Paul, approving a budget extension is a little different. 60-vote supermajority, in practice, passing budget-related bills often requires at least 60 votes.
Sorry, just the rules!
Not when it goes through reconciliation.
For the first time in the 21st Century the Republican Party is being bold and now has the Demoncrats in the same lose-lose situation that the Demoncrats always used so effectively against the Republicans. If the Demoncrats help to pass funding for the remainder of FY2025, they will lose their pork barrell projects and if they vote against it, the Government will shut down, hopefully for the remainder of FY-2025, the American People will finally realize just how little impact Federal spending has on their lives and the Demoncrat big-government agenda will lose. Of course, the Republican Party should not be patting itself on the back for catching the Demoncrats in this position. Had it not been for President Trump giving the Republican Party some backbone, they would have cowtowed to the Demoncrats. Keep that in mind!
It is like all the R's, starting with Johnson, have literally and spiritually borrowed Trump's backbone.
If there is a government shutdown, it will be 100% the fault of the unlawful, crying, dumbass Dems. Chuckyou Schumer, crazy Jerreries, and the rest of the paddle holding Dems we all saw on TV a week ago will be at fault.
Very true
Wow, they'd have to live within their means for a bit!
